Andrew Shapiro collaborated with Neil Gaiman on creating “Bash Street Worlds,” an ode to the UK comic The Beano that he loved when he was a child. It’s a gloriously warm, bright and sunny song with a rich wall-of-sound synth song that recalls some of OMD’s best work. —PopMatters

Quiet Kissing (Solo Piano)

title track from the album "Pink Jean Mint Green"

"...a beautiful instrumental piano coda "Rejected Film Theme" which pays homage to the still music of Arvo Pärt."

100 Houses: Gatsby Meets Caulfield

Rejected Film Theme

The album’s standout track Mint Green would go on to define Shapiro's early career. This six-minute jewel in its nature is furtive, an arcing pacey piano solo which rises and falls delicately, its melody slowly emerging from a Debussy-like haze of almost-hesitancy. No matter how many times it’s heard you have to return to its cascading style. Mint Green would go on to garner over five million plays on Pandora Internet Radio and become a regular soundtrack on American television. "Writing Mint Green was very Cocteau Twins inspired. There’s a sharp 11th (G#) over a sort of D major and A major polytonality that gives it its liftoff. If there’s a sharp 11th it can sometimes become a very Cocteau Twins-esque type of thing. I love it.” --Mark Prendergast
